Abstract: Canons G10 is aimed squarely at photography enthusiasts, with businesslike styling and lots of hands-on control. At 350g its no featherweight, but unlike most enthusiasts cameras - namely SLRs and ultra-zoom models - it fits in a pocket. Thanks t...
This is a fantastic compact camera: maybe a bit fiddly to navigate through the menus and predictably noisy at high ISO. But as a carry-anywhere camera, enthusiast photographers will love it. Use it as a happy-snap party camera – you can’t go wrong. And...
Overall, the Canon PowerShot G10 is a pleasure to use, but we wish the company had focused more on noise control instead of just cramming in more megapixels. We loved carrying this sturdy camera around and we appreciated its highly useful dials, but f...
